Liu Yifei spent a lot of money to receive the Weibo Queen award, the online community was shocked when she learned the truth

Recently, one of the biggest events in the Chinese entertainment world, the weibo festival fell to the top with the victory of Ho Ca and Liu Yifei. The fact that an artist receives a major award of the year is like a recognition for their efforts that year. However, few people know that going to these awards also costs a lot of their money.

Accordingly, attending the red carpet is not only a regular job, but also a great opportunity for artists to improve their reputation. But due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic, events in the Chinese-language entertainment world have been canceled a lot, so the opportunity for artists to show off their beauty on the red carpet is getting smaller.

Therefore, the artists' staff plans to invite the makeup team to do hair, take photos, and borrow dresses early. According to Hoa Hoa's representative, the stars have a certain reputation, and the requirements for fashion houses are also higher. They want to wear haute couture (haute couture), even make a request to be the first Chinese star to wear that dress.

"Traffic stars love to compare, whoever uses a famous stylist, cooperates with a better photographer, the more famous that person's status is. Besides, any celebrity who borrows a high-end outfit means that his resources are better," Sohu concluded.

According to Hoa Hoa, previously, the actors did not have the concept of releasing a set of photos before appearing on the red carpet. However, in the past 2-3 years, this activity has become a trend.

In addition, before that, stars often only took photos in the studio. But now, many people invest in the setting, even preparing lakes and detailed props. Many artists prepare carefully and take photos a day in advance.

"If an artist is invited to participate in major events, appear prominently on the red carpet, receive an award, it is an industry insider's recognition of the star's artistic activity. But if you can't attend the event, it feels like you haven't done anything impressive all year," said Hoa Hoa's manager.

According to Sohu, if only in terms of income, participating in the red carpet is not a profitable business. However, appearing in front of hundreds of reporters' lenses, followed by millions of viewers, will help the celebrities' reputations a lot.

In addition, Sohu also shocked when it revealed the cost of preparing to participate in the event, which fell between 20,000-50,000 yuan depending on the level of popularity.

"Less well-known private stylists often charge 5,000 yuan (nearly $800) for a set of photos. But stylists with editorial degrees will cost at least 20,000 yuan (nearly $3,000). Big stars will have to pay less. But for small artists, the cost of makeup and hairdressing can be up to 40,000 yuan. The average price for a red carpet appearance is about 10,000-15,000 yuan ($1,400-2,100)," Sohu wrote.

"If the star asks for a separation between hair and makeup, the cost will be higher, about 35,000 yuan. If the artist changes a few makeup styles during an event, this cost will multiply and not all artists can afford it," Hoa Hoa shared.

Media employee Xiao Qi also revealed to Sohu that the cost of one participation in the artist's event she is managing is up to 50,000 yuan each time. Therefore, in many activities, the idol wanted to participate, but the company refused after consideration.

According to Sohu, the price of taking a set of photos to attend the event is about 5,000-15,000 yuan, if you find a team with a higher reputation, the cost is up to 20,000 yuan. After the photo shoot, the artist will select 9 satisfactory photos for the photographer to edit, each photo will cost about 300 yuan.

In addition to photos, some artists also released behind-the-scenes videos. The processing of the video also costs about 800-1,500 yuan. Finally, in order for the image to be known by a large audience, the crew also had to spend money to buy hot searches on social networks.

According to Hoa Hoa's representative, for A-list artists, all their activities have fan support, so the amount of money spent on buying media is not much. But small artists can cost up to 50,000 yuan. If it's brand promotion, the cost will increase by up to 1.5 times.

To sum up, to stand out on the red carpet, celebrities must pay at least 50,000 yuan. However, an artist with a reputation and works known to the audience will receive many incentives and help reduce a lot of other costs.
